Alex Morgan and her early life
Alex Morgan was born in San Dimas, a Los Angeles County Suburb in California on July 2, 1989. Her parents raised her along with her two elder sisters Jeni and Jeri. At the age of 14, she joined Cyprus Elite, her first soccer club. When she was at school, Morgan was quite a regular for the Olympic Development Program (ODP).
From 2007-10, Morgan attended the University of California, Berkeley. At the age of 17, she had already received her first call-up for the U20 national side. Despite her USYNT commitments, she still took up a leadership role at the university soccer team, California Golden Bears. Along with that, she was one of the candidates for the Hermann Trophy during her junior year.
Soon after graduating from university, she deservedly was Western New York Flash’s first overall pick in the 2011 WPS draft.
All about Alex Morgan’s family
In 1989, Morgan was born to Pamela and Michael Morgan. While her parents raised her in San Dimas along with her two elder sisters Jennifer and Jeri, their father, Michael Morgan owned a construction business. On the other hand, her mother applied for a night MBA course despite having a day job. That was mainly to fund her daughter’s dream to be a soccer star.
The USWNT met the love of her life during her university days between 2007-10. Even after university, the two of them kept in touch with each other and eventually started dating. After a few years of long-distance dating, Servando Carrasco decided to take it to the next level. The MLS soccer star proposed to Morgan in 2013 in Manhattan Beach.
Several years after tying the knot, the soccer couple gave birth to Charlie Elena, their first daughter in 2020. Without a doubt, Charlie has been quite a regular attendee at Morgan’s soccer games.

Alex Morgan’s feat at the NWSL and other league careers
After brief stints at Western New York Flash and Seattle Sounders Women, Morgan joined Portland Thorns FC, her first NWSL side in 2013. She started off her NWSL career well after scoring eight goals and five assists. Three seasons later she moved to Orlando Pride. Morgan has had two spells at Orlando Pride.
While her first spell in 2016 wasn’t the best, she ended the 2017 season on a high after scoring nine goals and four assists in thirteen games. After a few more decent seasons at the club, the USWNT legend went on maternity leave in October 2019.
Post her tough maternity break and dicey spell at Tottenham Hotspur FC, she returned back to America. After another spell at Orlando Pride, she joined San Diego Wave FC for the 2022 season. She gave San Diego a dream start to her NWSL ambitions after scoring sixteen goals in nineteen during her first season.
The USWNT star has made a name for herself outside America too. After her first spell at Orlando Pride, she joined Olympique Lyonnais on a sixth-month loan deal. At that time, the French club paid her a shocking $33,000 monthly. In those six months, she turned out to become a Champions League winner after her team beat PSG in the final.
Apart from that, she also has also had a short spell in England. Post the covid pandemic break and her maternity leave, Morgan flew to the UK to sign for Tottenham Hotspur.
